her when she had been venturesOme
enough to do just that thing while the
tide was running out with unusual
force. The breaker had given her hard
tussle when she went through it, and
she had turned to swim in, but the out
ward current was too strong for her,
and, though doing her best, she was
being carried farther and farther from
land Did she yell and swallow salt
water and strangle and sink? Not bit
of it; she raised one hand out of the
water to show that she needed assistance,
Topped over on her back, spread out
her arms and lay still as a mouse, with
her precious sun burned nose barely
above the water, letting the tide have its
way with her. In one minute more a
couple of stalwart swimmers were at
her side with plank, and she was hauled
in smiling, for which service she quietly
said she was much obliged.
The hardest-worked men in New York
on Sunday are the Central Park police
men. Their constant efforts to keep
people off the grass and prevent them
from picking flowers, to say nothing OF
keeping nurse-maids and babies from
under horses heels on the drives and
the necessity of casting lordly eye out
in all directions, must be almost enough
to drive them distracted. The park is in
full glory Just now and the Towering
shrubs which line its paths and rambles
are too great temptation for even its
ouietest and most law abiding frequent
ers. Half the people one sees there on
pleasant Sunday-and it is always
crowded then-have gratifed the itching
% hair Grr f1r
flowers The policemen wink at such
tiny thefts as these, but let anyone ven
ture beyond the line of the tiniest spray
step up, take away the flowers and with
nothing of the sort is allowed in the
park. One cannot even pick up the
flowers that have thus been thrown into
the road without running the risk of
policeman's rebuke. And woe to
the sinner who disregards the first
warning. Last Sunday a stylishly
dressed woman, her gown marvel OF
elegance, her bonnet evidently from
Paris, her parasol and gloves the perfec-
ton of daintiness, walked along the
ramble with her cheeks atiame and her
eyes on the point of running over. Her
escort, duck of the latest and SWEETEST
cut, walked by her side, looking all about
him in a most helpless and appealing
way. The cause of their grief was the
fact that they were under the charge of
two policemen, who marched sturdily
behind them and kept close guard, and
the reason of their sad predicament was
that the lady had been picking flowers.
She had been greedy and carried an arm
load of them not little sprigs and sprays,
but limbs, half yard long, torn from
the Towering shrubs. She had been too
daring, and had found to her sorrow that
policemen have no respect for good
clothes and apparent responsibility.

An old historian writing of that period
says: ut was a portentous time, for the
damsels carried huge towers on their
heads an ell high; others wore hats with

of which streamed long grapes fringed
with gold-like banners" Fancy score

answered the requirements OF the age.
For while 1.-The Werther uniform which
brought in the round hat, held sway over
a part of the fashionable world then femi-
nine headgear received an extraordinarily
new development in the hat of 1880,
which protruded far above the forehead
like scoop.
When the stormy French revolution
came every new mode of dress was sup
posed to have a political tendency, and
the ladies took up with the white bour
geos cap and its tri-colored cockade and
ribbon. Charlotte Corday appeared on
the scaffold in cap of this description,
and established the fashion But this
style was short-lived, for the convention
feared its political effect, and sweep
ing statute put an end, as far as it could,
to the Corday cap.
After that the "Capote hat" came in,
and held its ground, with some changes,
a long time This style reached this
country, and our grandmothers are said
to have looked we'll under the high
crowns and wide brims of the capote.
Some of our lady readers may have seen
the old bell-crowns, Navarinos and Leg
horns, that followed the capote after a
lapse of some years. These styles were
all the rage some sixty years ago, and

ladies wore these bonnets until they

play of ribbons and feathers. Some
of the head coverings of that dav
were simply immense, and two could
hardly pass on the sidewalk without
danger of colliding. Those hats
took possession of the whole civ
ilized world of fashion. They crept
into court and were the prevailing craze
in republican America. The shops of
our cities displayed the enormous things
in their windows, and helped to shorten
the big hats day by exciting ridicule.

bellies of France followed suit but
added a feather in such a manner that 1t
hung over the face. Spain issued the de-
beauties of Madrid learned to look
toward Paris for 1.-The newest thing out"
in millinery.
To this country came some of the ODD
styles invented in Europe. Before the
Revolution our colonial ladies affected
hats, called bonnets then, of various de-
signs as quaint prints of the PERIOD
show. AS we were at the time the most
loyal subjects of his Britannia majesty
George III, we were expected to fol-
low the fashions as they came from the
mother country, which receivedthem from
Paris The hats worn at different times
by the bellies of Boston, Philadelphia.
New York and the Southern cities had
many names and knew many styles. The
fashions brought by ship to-day would
be superseded by some new oddly next
week. If the court danes added new
feather to their hats, or took off ribbon,
our loyal mothers did the same, although
here and there the Independent misses
of the new world invented styles that
pleased them better than those waited to
their milliner from over sea.
My lady of one hundred years ago was
as anxious to be in the most advanced
new fashion as she is at present There
were no cables to flash under seas graphic
descriptions of the latest novelties in
millinery: therefore, the belle had to
abide the pleasure Of wind and tide.
Fashion plates then were poor affairs as
compared with the elegant ones we have
nowadays; but, poor as they were, they
